Broken Hearted Bryce searching for his Sarah Miller.
It was the TikTok heard around the world. Broken-hearted Bryce gets cheated on by his girlfriend the same day he bought her a trip around the world where he intended to propose. The tickets? Nonrefundable. That was what his TikTok said. He needed to find someone, anyone named Sarah Miller in the greater Boston area (or even within the Continental U.S.) to join him on the trip of a lifetime. Two strangers rooming together on a cruise around the world? What could go wrong?
This curvy heroine, broken hero, instalove, travel romance is guaranteed safe with no cliffhangers and no cheating (other than the ex-girlfriend Bryce kicked to the curb). Why not set sail on the trip of a lifetime!
Most of these are always written in third person, as if the author isn't the one actually writing them. So, I'm going to be a rule-breaker and write it in first person instead. I'm a native Chicagoan, vegetarian, and lover of big words. I randomly burst out into song, and have been known to carry on entire conversations (with those worthy of the challenge) in song lyrics. The same can also be said for movie quotes. I'm quirky, sarcastic, I've been told at times I can be a bit esoteric, but overall I'd rather be dancing in the rain than waiting for the storm to pass.
And I LOVE connecting with people- so go on, hit the "friend" button. :)
His ex cheated on him, and I was hooked from the moment I started listening. Then he met someone new with the same name, and their chemistry hit me so hard—it made me laugh, smile, and feel all the tension at once. Traveling around the world with them felt alive through the narration. Every small moment, every conversation, pulled me in, and the connection between them grew in a way that felt real. I couldn’t stop listening. The mix of messy pasts, unexpected encounters, and their magnetic bond kept me completely captivated.
Major gush alert—this book was so good! 😍 Bryce and Sarah completely stole my heart. The story felt fresh and unique, with a curvy, strong, and confident FMC, and a MMC who’s all tough on the outside but pure golden retriever energy underneath. I loved both the concept and the way it was executed—everything just worked. I’ll definitely be diving into more from this author ASAP!
I received a free ARC of this book from the Route 66 event on Saturday. I downloaded it for my flight home and omg it’s adorable! I love Willow’s stories so much and this one is no exception. The banter!!! I think that was my favorite part. I also really love how she is a curvy heroine that is represented in such a confident and positive way. Loved it!

Date and Switch By Willow Sanders Narrated by Shiloh James, Walker Williams
I thought it was time I took a virtual vacation, and Willow Sanders allowed me to go on a lengthy cruise with Bryce and Sera. Bryce had purchased the tickets with the intent of proposing to his girlfriend and show her that he is more than just work. Little did he know she wasn't interested. Now with the tickets in hand, he searches for a woman with the same name. Seraphin grabs hold of the chance after her twin pushes her into it and finds herself in a storybook world, with ball gowns and beautiful scenery. Bryce does his best to make her happy, and Sera's heart falls for each nugget he gives her. But will they give each other their hearts? This is a fast paced, strangers to lovers romance, filled with beautiful scenery, fun social media and a workaholic that finds his stride. Bryce may seem brokenhearted, but is he really? And Sera is not your ordinary beauty, full of love and compassion for all. I loved this story, it was a movie in my mind and had me enjoying the witty banter and my time at sea.
Shiloh James and Walker Williams are amazing together as they combine their talents and head off to the many stops they take. James is Sera, a bit uncomfortable at first, but quickly eases into her role. She wears her heart on her sleeve and her nuances easily let me feel exactly what Sera was. Williams is perfect as Bryce. The constant man at work, but his romantic side comes out in spades. He opens Bryce's heart and it's stunning. Loved these two and enjoyed my journey!
This was an exceptionally enjoyable read that completely captivated me from the very first page to the final sentence. I was immediately and irresistibly drawn into the story by the intriguing premise and the cleverly crafted, perfectly paced storyline, which masterfully and seamlessly intertwined suspense with heartwarming and emotionally resonant romance in a way that left me breathless and wanting more. The undeniable chemistry between Bryce, who is still grappling with the emotional scars of a past heartbreak, and Sera, a character yearning for a profound and transformative life change, was absolutely electric, creating a magnetic pull that was completely irresistible. Their interactions crackled with palpable passion, undeniable connection, and a spark that was both captivating and unforgettable. I found myself completely and utterly invested in their journey, eagerly anticipating each new chapter and passionately cheering them on as they blossomed from initially hesitant strangers into a deeply loving, supportive, and understanding couple, who courageously embraced the beautiful complexities of love and all that life had to offer, together.
The audio narrators really brought this story to life and made it easy to get sucked into it.
I received an advance copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Broken-Hearted Bryce goes viral on TikTok after his girlfriend cheats the same day he buys her a “let’s travel the world” surprise. Tickets? Nonrefundable. Solution? Find a Sarah Miller (literally any Sarah Miller) to join him on this epic cruise. Enter Sera, and suddenly this grumpy, bruised-heart MMC is sharing a room, and maybe more, on the trip of a lifetime. 🚢✈️💙
🎧 The audio? Straight-up perfection. Shiloh James and Walker Williams nailed the banter, the heartbreak, and the delicious build-up of chemistry. Their narration made the story feel alive. Like I was eavesdropping on their arguments, stolen glances, and eventual swoons. Walker captured every ounce of Bryce’s wounded, puppy-dog energy, while Shiloh gave Sera strength, sass, and vulnerability in equal measure. Together? Magic.
✨ Tropes & vibes: 🛳️ Travel romance (cruise around the world!) 💔 Broken hero / healing arc 💃 Curvy heroine rep ⚡ Instalove energy 🏖️ Forced proximity (strangers to roommates, hello tension 👀) 💞 Banter + big feels
This one gave me swoons, laughs, and a few moments where I wanted to shake Bryce with a frying pan... but in the best way. The journey from strangers-to-lovers felt both fun and tender, with enough spice to keep things extra addictive.
Huge thanks to Willow Sanders and High Gravity Productions for the ALC.
Where do I even start? Narrators Shiloh James and Walker Williams took you on a journey with this one. Perfect narration to bring us into a world with Bryce and Sera. With Bryce being emotionally scarred from a past love or the one he thought was his love, and Sera, who was just seeking something new in life, figuring out her way, the two together bring a chemistry that was unmatched. Connection, sparks, passion all form with these characters and the author and narrators give you a captivating love story that hooks the listener in from the very start.

So normally, I am not a sweet, soft contemporary romance type reader. I am a dark romance, pitch black or horror erotica reader. But sometimes it is just really nice to take a step back and read/listen to something like this. Now I have said before I’m not the biggest fan of duel style narration I prefer duet style, but I did very much enjoy Walker and Shiloh’s narration throughout this audio. I also did not know that this was a series when I started it so, I was kind of confused at some points with some of the characters. But overall this was a 4 ⭐️ audio for me, and a 2.5🌶️ on the spice for me. A quick overview of the story is our MMC Bryce has learned that is girlfriend Sarah Miller has been cheating on him and he was going to take her on a cruise around the world. So instead of refunding his tickets his brother Penn tells him to take another Sarah Miller. So that is what he does, he takes out FMC Seraphim Miller on this trip and you will just have to read or listen to find out what happens next!! Thank you so much to High Gravity Production and to our wonderful narrators Walker Williams and Shiloh James!!
I really loved this book. It was my first from Willow Sanders and I can't wait to read Rex's story next. I really loved Bryce and Seraphim/Sera together. The way they helped one another grow. Him helping her with her confidence and she teaching him how love and being the center of someone's world should feel like. Just two things bugged me so that's why I gave 4 instead of 5 stars. I wish the ending was more, maybe an epilogue a few months or year ahead to give some closure. And as soon as the news got brought up when they were still on the cruise my mind got dragged from the story because the covid of it all.
"I had more objections than Adele had divorce songs." - oh my!!! 😂 “You feel like sunshine. A warmth I never thought I’d feel again, and one I want to bask in for as long as I can.” ❤ "you’d took hold of my heart and gently nursed it back to life." 🥰🥲
I am leaving my honest review for a complimentary copy of this book via the author.
"You feel like sunshine. A warmth I never thought I'd feel again, and one I want to bask in for as long as I can"
♡This was my first read by Willow & I really enjoyed it! This was a cute, spicy strangers-to-lovers story! This book follows Bryce & Seraphim two complete strangers who end up going on a cruise together after their personal lives take a turn for the worst. They agreed to this cruise solely for convenience & the ability to help one another out but once the ship starts to rock the lines start to blur!
The dual narration for this book was great. Both Shiloh & James are new to me narrators & I thought they both did a phenomenal job at bringing this cute love story to life!♡
Date and Switch is a wonderful, sweet strangers to lovers story involving Bryce and Sera. Bryce has planned an epic around the world cruise as a surprise for his girlfriend. He then finds out that she is cheating and breaks up with her. Now he has a very expensive trip and no one to go with him. After a TikTok video, he has a lot of candidates and he chooses Sera. She is now going in place of Sarah Miller. They leave for the cruise as acquaintances and become more. Can it last? The dual narration by Shiloh James and Walker Williams was phenomenal. Shiloh James was brilliant as sweet beautiful Sera. Her intelligence, beauty, sass, strength, passion and love were all present in her voice. Walker Williams was perfect as grumpy Bryce. I love how sweet and possessive he was with Sera. His commanding alpha voice was divine. He has a wonderful sexy sultry tone just for Sera that was positively swoon worthy. I highly recommend listening. Thanks to the author and High Gravity Productions for this ALC.
This novel is so good! Bryce and Sera are wonderful together. Bryce bought an around the world cruise to plan his engagement and wedding to his girlfriend. Instead he catches her cheating on him and breaks up. Now he is out thousands of dollars for this cruise so he decides to find another Sarah Miller to go with him. Hence the date and switch. But this story is so compelling I felt I was on the cruise with them. And as Bryce and Sera get to know each other they realize the can have much more. It is so well written I could not stop reading once I started reading. It is really a fast steamy read, all the characters are well developed and it is just an excellent read!.

Timing is everything, and apparently Bryce experienced it first-hand. Love in his heart, he purchased an amazing trip around the world for himself and his girlfriend, planning on making his proposal to her memorable! Unfortunately, his girlfriend was cheating on him, and the tickets were non-refundable. Will Bryce be able to find another woman named “Sarah Miller” to take her place on the world cruise? And would such a lady be willing to be his cabin mate?
He does find his lady Sera, but you will have to read the book to find out the details of the trip. (You would never believe me if I tried to tell you here…) I love the laughter and where the story takes us. Climb aboard and share the fun!
Great narrators. They did a great job giving life to these characters.
This is a fun, cute, and sexy read. A book about finding love and learning to trust again.
Bryce is struggling feeling kind of stuck in life and his current relationship so he decides to spice up life and do something spontaneous only to find things are not as they seemed. Heartbroken and saddled with non refundable tickets for a once in a life time trip he puts out an ad looking for a girl with his exs name so he doesn’t have to go alone.
Seraphim is currently unemployed and looking for work before she is basically homeless. She answers Bryce’s ad.
These two complete strangers embark on a 7 month long trip and things don’t stay friendly they get steamy.
I loved this crazy chaotic story that is so unbelievably good. Bryce is preparing to propose to his long time girlfriend after purchasing a nonrefundable cruise around the world and doing so on tiktoc. Those plans are disrupted when he catches her cheating and dumps her. So he will loose a lot of money unless he can find someone to go with him. Enter Sera a random stranger that ends up going on this crazy adventure with him. What happens? Will they fall for each other or just use each other for the cruise? Follow theor crazy adventure to find out. Plenty of LOL moments.

This is a full length novel, that is so worth the time it takes to read! The characters are so nice, I loved getting to know them. They are perfect for each other. They meet after Bryce books a world trip for him and his girlfriend, but finds out she's been cheating on him and they break up. His brother suggests that he takes the trip , but finds another Sarah Miller tp take her place. Seraphim's twin sister convinces her to apply for the job and the two meet. Willow has spun an amazing tale of blossoming love while traveling the world... This is my kind of fairytale romance.

Someone likened this to a virtual vacation and I couldn't agree with them more! This was a really fun read, and had all my favourite tropes.
The acting in this was as phenomenal as I knew it would be, I really love Shiloh James in anything at this point, and Walker Williams is a powerhouse! They both really nailed the vibes of “I don’t even know you” to “oh yeah, we can be friends” to “i love you” every step of the way!
This had me giggling, kicking my feet, fanning my face and tearing up a lil.
This did bring some flash backs to Covid times though haha
Oh my gosh I loved this instalove book! It was sweet and sexy, then followed up with the swooning and romance... I just love when love is found in the most random of ways. This story was like a Hallmark movie but with the sexy scenes. The banter between the characters was so fun and the chemistry between them will melt the marshmallows in your hot chocolate. I just absolutely loved this read. One of my favourites reads ever by Willow Sanders. I would say this is the best one she has written. Definitely pick your copy up today. Happy reading everyone
This book is an addictive read that I couldn’t put down. I was hooked from the first page. This book is about Bryce and Sera. Bryce booked a non refundable long cruise around the world for him and his girlfriend. When his girlfriend dumped him, he had to find another girl with the same name to take the trip with him.
It has some hot and steamy scenes and was a thoroughly enjoyable read. I can’t wait to read the next book by Willow Sanders.

This is such a sweet story! Bryce, a grumbly growly on the outside but sweetie on the inside, is making the ultimate gesture to his girlfriend by buying her a trip around the world, during which he plans to propose. Until he finds out she's been cheating on him. Now he's desperate to find a Sarah to go with him on the trip and Sera steps in. The banter is hysterical, the trip sounds amazing, and the chemistry builds. Great trip around the world with lovable characters!.

The ending was a little too meta for me, but the rest was a delight. I loved the fact that it was older hero/heroine and not the huge age gap of older man barely legal woman. It made it just a bit more lovely. I loved the close proximity trope in this. Sometimes it can come off ad cheesy but not this time. It wasn't exactly instalove, because the slow build jp was implied, bit I wish the begining would have had a little more to it, even if it made the book a little longer. Overall, this boom was a fun little romp.
This story is the perfect unique, fun, vacation story. I really enjoyed how adorable Bryce and Sara were together and how he doted on her all over the world. Their meeting was completely original and that made it even more entertaining.
The audiobook is excellent and I loved the narration by Shiloh James and Walker Williams. Both did an excellent job voicing these characters and their flirty and entertaining story.

The blurb for this story had me hooked right away. And I was definitely not disappointed! Bryce breaks up with his long term gf Sarah when he finds out she has been cheating. Of course he had just bought crazy expensive cruise around the world tickets. One drunken tok later, He and Sera set off. So many shenanigans ensue. Sunburned lady bits. Broken D#$k lol. Not too many spoilers, but you definitely need to read this and see how their Story evolves!
I really enjoyed this crazy whirlwind love story of Bryce and Seraphim. They were such gorgeous characters with excellent banter and sizzling chemistry. Their evolving relationship and exciting and thoughtful adventures made for an engaging and swoony read. For this hopeless romantic however, the ending was just too quick - I needed more of a HEA for this lovely couple.

After finding his girlfriend cheating on him just before they were due to head on a cruise around the world, Bryce sends out a call for another Sarah Miller over TikTok so that he doesn’t lose out on the thousands he paid for the cruise. Sarah, jumping at the opportunity to get away, is surprised at the connection she feels with Bryce. But can a relationship between them really work? Will Bryce be able to convince her to take a chance on him?
This is an entertaining story with strong characters and a hot chemistry. The author does a great job bringing a sweet and sexy romance with a fun banter and delivers a terrific story. She pulled me into their story and kept me reading with her perfectly painted scenes. I loved reading Bryce and Sera's story.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
I've read several books written by Willow Sanders; she is becoming one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of her books.
The story is about Bryce & Sarah Miller; he bought an around the world trip for the two of them right before he finds out she cheated on him. The tickets are non-refundable so he begins searching for another Sarah Miller to go with him.

Bryce’s brother convinces him to still take the world cruise he’d booked as a surprise for his girlfriend after he finds her cheating. Sera’s name gets her the trip if a lifetime at a time when her life needs new direction. It’s meant to be a business style trip but romance quickly makes an appearance and then things get really interesting. Humorous, romantic, witty, steamy and sweet with a HEA.
